OBJECTIVES: Major depressive disorder is a recurrent illness. Treatment strategies are generally focused on achieving remission and preventing relapse/recurrence. The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors associated with relapse for remitted patients during the 12-week follow-up.
METHODS: This was an open-label trial for major depressive disorder patients receiving acute treatments with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and continuation medication in the 12-week follow-up. Symptom severity and psychosocial functioning were assessed using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) and the Work and Social Adjustment Scale at each visit. Remission was defined as a HAMD-17 of 7 or less after acute treatment. Relapse was defined as a HAMD-17 of 14 or greater. Subjects achieving remission after acute treatments were included for analysis. Survival analysis was used to investigate the factors associated with relapse.
RESULTS: Sixty patients receiving ECT for acute treatment were enrolled for 12-week follow-up. Using Cox regression analysis, a greater number of previous major depressive episodes and greater baseline Work and Social Adjustment Scale scores were significantly associated with shorter time to relapse.
CONCLUSIONS: The goal of acute treatment should focus on functional remission to prevent relapse. Further studies related to more effective treatments to prevent relapse after acute ECT are required in the future.
